They’re riding the gravy train, now! The Broadway revival of On the Twentieth Century opens officially on March 15. The Roundabout production stars Tony and Emmy winner Kristin Chenoweth and Peter Gallagher. To celebrate the tuner’s return trip to the Great White Way, Broadway.com resident artist Justin “Squigs” Robertson created this sketch of the cast in action.
In addition to Chenoweth and Gallagher as the mousy Mildred Plotka-turned starlet Lily Garland and her ex-flame and producer Oscar Jaffee, the portrait features Mark Linn-Baker and Michael McGrath as showbiz execs Oliver and Owen, Andy Karl as Cheno-lifting Bruce and Tony winner Mary Louise Wilson at Ms. Primrose, who may or may not be causing a nutty commotion on the locomotion.
Broadway.com wishes a hearty congratulations to the cast of On the Twentieth Century. You’re on the fast track to a hit!
About the Artist: With a desire to celebrate the magic of live theater and those who create it, and with a deep reverence for such touchstones as the work of Al Hirschfeld and the wall at Sardi’s, Squigs is happy and grateful to be among those carrying on the traditions where theater and caricature meet. He was born and raised in Oregon, lived in Los Angeles for quite a long time and now calls New York City his home.
